In addition to visual art, the conference also covered a topic of special interest in visual neuroaesthetics: facial beauty. Other peo- ple’s faces constitute highly relevant stimuli for humans, and face perception is mediated by distributed neural regions (Ishai, 2007), including the extrastriate cortex, which is specially dedicated to processing individual identity, and the superior temporal sulcus, which processes facial movements involved in speech and direct- ing gaze. Regions of the limbic system, such as the amygdala and insula, are involved in recognizing facial expressions of emotion. Research during the last decade has revealed that facial beauty is processed by regions of the reward circuit, especially the nucleus accumbens and orbitofrontal. | Postgraduate Journal of Aesthetics Vol. 4 No. 1 April 2007 Can Aesthetic Theories of Art Be Rescued From the Problem of Avant-Garde and other Non-Perceptual Artworks - An exploration of Non-Perceptual Aesthetic Properties. Angharad Shaw university of Nottingham Proponents of the aesthetic theory of art advocate that the aesthetic domain encompasses all artworks. However there is a belief that although much art falls under the aesthetic there are some artworks that do not. Avant-garde artworks are offered as counterexamples to the aesthetic theory as they are artworks that reject the very idea of the aesthetic. This paper explains the idea of non-perceptual aesthetic properties and explores whether it can incorporate avant-garde artworks into the domain of the aesthetic. James Shelley in his 2003 paper The Problem of Non-Perceptual Art describes the problem as the inconsistency of the following three propositions artworks necessarily have aesthetic properties that are relevant to their appreciation as artworks proposition R aesthetic properties necessarily depend at least in part on properties perceived by means of the five senses proposition s and there exist artworks that need not be perceived by means of the five senses to be appreciated as artworks proposition X .1 The aesthetic theory of art attempts to answer the question what makes something a work of art by supplying a general theory based upon aesthetic properties which are properties that depend on properties perceived by the senses propositions R and s . 1 Shelley 2003 . Angharad Shaw Avant-garde works cause problems for aesthetic descriptions of artworks because properties other than those received by the five senses lead people to consider them art proposition X . It is important to note that an interest in the way something looks is not necessarily an aesthetic interest. For example to look at an artwork to see whether it is a painting or a collage is to take a non-aesthetic interest in it. It is
